[maxmsp] Question-Max Reference manual example for "route"

Hope I can get some clarity on this one.  Either there is a typo or the
example is not making complete sense to me.
First the comment for the example is "6 doesn't match". However from what I
can see it does.
However I'd think the message "7 start 1536" would put the 7 in the number
box, but it doesn't.  I see there are only 3 outlets and 4 messages.  Is
that something allowed with route ?

Here is the patch :
